Adds new civil penalties and increases surcharges imposed on domestic violence offenders; establishes "Domestic Violence Victims' Legal Assistance Fund."

S 118 increases fines for domestic violence offenders and creates a dedicated fund to support victims. It adds a $500-$500 civil penalty for initial offenses (with a $1,500 payment plan over three years) and raises a surcharge on domestic violence convictions from $100 to $500. All funds from these penalties, plus a $500 penalty for contempt violations, flow into the "Domestic Violence Victims’ Legal Assistance Fund." The fund provides direct legal services - such as advocacy, medical referrals, and legal aid - to domestic violence victims through approved organizations.
